cosmic, Some past discussion on the Omega list on this subject (read down about halfway through the message): http://www.purebytes.com/archives/omega/2001/msg10376.html

alain, Have you checked out the Xltraders forum at Yahoo! groups? There might be some further suggestions there. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/xltraders

I've used HyperSnap for years (first the free version, then the paid upgrade), and I've been extremely happy with it. www.hyperionics.com It's a small program, opens fast, and saves .GIFs, if you'd like. I understand that SnagIt is an even more popular program because of its additional...

If you are looking for a space to upload this, use www.traders2traders.com. It is specifically intended for this type of exchange among traders. It's all free! (Disclaimer: I have no vested interest in traders2traders; I'm just a happy user.)

Hi Don. I was very happy to see an announcement on a local mail list that you will be coming to Denver in the very near future. The information that I have says you will be doing a two hour session during the week (a freebie) plus the weekend course to follow. The message states "For the...

Probably the simplest and cheapest way to do that is to ask someone with Tradestation to do it for you. It's a very simple indicator applied to a loaded chart. (TS2000 works best for this.) This board has plenty of Tradestation users and owners (although they are not as vocal as the users of...

Following on Don's suggestion about a relative envelope spread, you could do something as simple as taking a normalized Average True Range (ATR/Close) ratio of that stock to a major index like the $SPX. It's easy to calculate based on readily available information, and you have the added...

Several immediate advantages come to mind: the ability to use Stop and Limit orders, the ability to load almost unlimited amounts of data for testing, e.g. over 1 million bars versus a 62,500 limit, much more extensive analytics such as MAE, MFE, drawdown calculations, the capability to assign...

Metastock produces outstanding looking charts. It is a great program if you are very visual. Also the scanning works very well, as long as you are using some very simple methods, such as Close>some percentage of something AND Volume>something else. However, forget about any serious...

Go to the QCharts Yahoo! group http://groups.yahoo.com/group/qcharts/ join, and in the files section, you'll find the Basic Connectivity Guide. There are some extremely useful tools such as the QFeed Application Interface that members have contributed for free. These are indispensible and...

That would be a nice feature. I'm sure that over time they will add some of those in, although it seems that Tradestation Technologies is moving back towards the software side of things rather than the brokerage business. Since I have so much invested in my collected data (along with an...

Kymar, Check out Robert Linders PushPOP dll. It is free, and he will be posting it soon to www.traders2traders.com http://www.purebytes.com/archives/omega/2002/msg06233.html is his recent posting to the Omega list. See the description for the Function "Yesterday". I believe he is...

Just so everyone knows, when you refer to page numbers, it is specific to your setup. As an example, I have my preferences to show the maximum of 40 posts per page, so for me, there are only five pages in this thread. The best way to reference a quote several pages back is to quote part of...

Hi Aaron, A little off topic, but I thought this fit well in a "Systematic Performance Stats" thread... Congratulations on your performance! I just finished reading my current issue of Futures, and I saw you at the top of the list. Well done, and continued success!

Yeah, you're right. It's probably a TS2000 syntax thing. Alert seems somewhat pointless, since it takes one or more bars after the Pivot High to know that it was a pivot high. Gosh, that'd be great to have in realtime....:p So, it seems both statements are ones you can do without. Let me...

Here are the Pivots plotted on both the ES and the NQ for the last several days on a 10 minute chart. (ES is the upper chart in yellow, and NQ is the lower in Cyan). Dizzyspell has made great points about it's being more important how you trade them rather than just waiting for price to hit...

I'd add that you have to throw some serious consideration for slippage when trading the big contracts. Make the comparison using both the slippage plus total commission. A good friend of mine who manages a fund trades some 400+ contracts at a time instead of using the big contract. He used...

Hi Don, Those values match up with the floor pivots I'd calculate using Pivot= (H+L+C)/3 Pivot1UP= Pivot + (Pivot-Low) Pivot2UP= Pivot + (High-Low) etc. Are we arriving at the same numbers using different methods? :confused: It would be interesting if there's another way to do...

I had some difficulty with market-topology. I can't seem to find out how they run their correlations on the market-topology site. Is it an EOD correlation (assuming you are willing to hold the position for the duration of the day) or would you be better served by a 60 minute correlation...

Someone PM'ed me asking about the article, but I wasn't able to respond because that person's mailbox was full. In the July 2002 issue of AOPA Pilot, the article on Eddie Franco is on page 154 under the Pilots section. Each month the magazine features a different pilot and talks about their...
